| A Taste of Spain |
If anyone is even considering visiting Seville at the moment, I would avoid it! The city is a horrible mess of construction work, due to the tram line that is currently being built in the centre. It will benefit the city in the long term as it will alleviate some of the pollution, but at the moment the area around the cathedral is not a pretty sight. Luckily, I am not here as a tourist so it doesn't really bother me but if you want to take loads of nice photos, you are probably out of luck. This is what the area around the cathedral looks like at the moment:
Nice eh?? Still, like I say, it will be so much better when the tram line is completed as I am sure the pollution has an adverse effect on the cathedral. Plus, the cool thing is you get to see some history when they are doing this kind of work in the city. They always find something of historical value whenever they try to construct anything in the city. Consequently, most projects take years before they seem to get anywhere. However, it is interesting to watch as an outsider. Below are a couple more photos from the city. The first is of a view of the cathedral, the second just a random fountain (I have an obsession with photographs of fountains. Maybe one day I will set up a fountain blog, but then maybe five blogs is excessive!!).
Notice the bright, blue skies! Just a shame you can't feel the unbelievable heat that I am suffering at the moment!! ¡Hasta pronto mis amigos! |

i can turn off the sarcasm if you'd like. after all, it'd be nice to meet you and Neath for a drink ... i would hate to piss y'all off to the point of y'all saying, "hell no."
